review 1: Most of the recipes here are either too elaborate, or too simple - there is no middle ground.I think that most people can make basic smoothies, juices and something like an avocado sandwich without a recipe. I don't know to whom this book is catering to, the vegan crowd, the health nut crowd, something in the middle etc? I don't know if the really hard core health crowd is into agave (processed fructose bomb, has much more fructose than HFCS), margarine (really?), canola oil, and wheat. On the other hand the regular vegan crowd would maybe not care all that much about the green juices etc?And then the most simple recipes (avo sandwich) are too simple for seasoned vegans/healthy eaters, but on the other hand many of the recipes are too demanding and complicated with a massi... moreve amount of ingredients for someone who is just starting out a veggie lifestyle.So, I don't know, not a bad cookbook per se, just maybe confused about what niche it belongs to, and also maybe not a very practical cookbook because of the niche confusion.Also, I did not enjoy the "sassy" writing style, but it seems to be a plague with these kind of books, and therefore expected.
review 2: Great intro to vegan cooking, some of the recipes are a bit simple (sliced tomato, really!) and some are so labor intensive you'd want to have all day to prepare food and do nothing else with your life but over all it's a good book. I'm not crazy about the writing style but that doesn't detract from the quality of the book, it's just a style preference. Great photography and I love that many of the recipes are collaborations from other Vegan Chefs. less

Fun read but unlikely I'll make any of the recipes--other than the Rocking' Rosemary Popcorn!
